Surgical treatment of complications 45 years after extraperiosteal pneumonolysis and plombage using acrylic resin balls for cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.

An infected axillary sinus tract discharged balls made of an acrylic resin consisting essentially of polymerized methyl methacrylate (Lucite) 45 years following performance of an extraperiosteal pneumonolysis and Lucite ball plombage for collapse therapy of right upper lobe cavitary tuberculosis. Surgical extraction of the balls was performed, followed by a partial decortication of the lung and intrathoracic transposition of a pectoralis major muscle flap to fill the residual pleural space. Primary healing was attained, and the patient is well 1 1/2 years after surgery.
